the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. gohmert: these can be the best of times and the worst of times. there's still so much potential this country has so much in the way of assets, but it is interesting to hear my friends across the aisle talk about the wonders of obamacare, but i know this president has said before, if you make more than $250,000, you won't ever have your taxes raised. he said it a lot of different ways. and yet, when i read the -- his version of the american jobs act that he himself pushed forward, promulgated, demanded be passed, it actually raised taxes on everybody that made more than $125,000. so he broke a promise there. and obamacare, it's very clear that if you make just above the poverty line, and you can't afford the kind of cadillac insurance that's demanded that you purchase, you are going to get ham mered with a taxed and it will be 2.5% extra income tax. he basically has pushed through a bill that makes war with those who can least afford to buy health insurance. adding a 2.5% tax to people

in texas, about 98% of the employers are small businesses. in the 19th congressional district, there is probably a higher number because we have a bunch of hard-working small- business people that have worked hard to build those businesses up. we do not have the big trio the plant in the 19th congressional district but the small businesses are a major job creator for us. small businesses rely on access to capital. our community banks have been the primary provider of that capital. when you look at small business loans in this country, most of those loans are under $100,000. while that is not a small amount of money, for many banks that would be a relatively small loan. but to those businesses, it is a very important loan. we want to make sure that as we move forward, we are not part of the problem of inhibiting the financial community's, particularly our community banks, from providing important lending opportunities. but also serving the customers. i was talking to someone the other day and many other smaller communities across my district w

we are talking about texas. the house republicans have a proposal to lower rates and they say that they will make it revenue-neutral. it will not raise taxes or budget deficits by capping deductions. how we do that is unclear. the democrats have not really filled in the blanks on these proposals. host: we have an e-mail -- guest: i am not sure what the suggestion is. host: they're suggesting the economy was benefiting from the robust housing market. guest: one of the positive things now was a housing -- at that time was housing. what would be the motivation for ignoring it is there is some massive payback? i do not think there is anybody who has an incentive to allow the bubble to occur. not the policy makers. i know there are people in the financial markets to figure out what was going on and profited from it. these transcripts do not show evidence that fed officials were thinking anything of the sword. -- of this sort. even if you think that is what would happen, if you did an audit based off of these transcri

we spent time back in dallas, texas, during the break. granted, perhaps they are not as impacted necessarily by the bill. they are in the health-care industry. they are talking about chairs that they will have in their dental practice. they are talking about where bands that they will put in children's mouths. these are all going to be taxed with a medical device tax. also, dental care will rise very substantially. so i go back to this point. even at a cost of twice as much, would this be a good deal? heck, no. because if we did not take care of repealing it, we would have to double the tax. we would have to take $1 trillion, not $500 billion. $1 trillion out of senior care. not the republican side, but people who are 80, 19 years old who are on it today. we would double the cost on states. they are already staggeringly high. we would double the tax on small business. we would double down virtually everything about this bill, and instead of huge budget losing 800 million more jobs, which is considered the government estimate, the private

host: arlington, texas, independent line, deon. caller: hi. as someone who grew up in church, i often found this whole movement of trying to inject jesus christ and religion into politics, i have often found it disgusting. first of all, when it comes to god's word, both parties fall short. i think we should kill this whole notion that somehow if you vote republican, you are voting with god and all this kind of stuff. basically, what you all have done is create your own false religion. just vote for who you want to vote for, but quit -- and less jesus christ is running, you cannot vote your faith. second, the tea party and when i talk to my older relatives, it is the white separatist movement, the same old white citizens council, states' rights, things from the past, from the 1960's that they see. as far as supporting mitt romney, why would you support someone -- jesus said if anybody comes with another revelation, you reject them. host: we gave our guest plenty to talk about. guest: let's start with the racism part of his equation. this is add
